An Upward Look

Oh heart green acre sown with salt
by the departing occupier

lay down your gallant spears of wheat
Salt of the earth each stellar pinch

flung in blind defiance backwards
now takes its toll Up from his quieted

quarry the lover colder and wiser
hauling himself finds the world turning

toys triumphs toxins into
this vast facility the living come
dearest to die in How did it happen

In bright alternation minutely mirrored
Within the thinking of each and every

mortal creature halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts Morning star

evening star salt of the sky
First the grave dissolving into dawn

then the crucial recrystallizing
from the inmost depths of clear dark blue

An Upward Look By James Merrill

Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.

An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer. I hope you enjoy.

POSTCARD FRONT – DIGITAL

So there’s a reception at baby grand, on tuesday evening 7-9pm.  I have the new comic up in the space and I’m happy with it, I’ll post it here shortly in both digital and photo format. Paul and I are going to stencil a poster outside for hype, and put some more original artwork up as well.

PAGE FOURTEEN FINALLY

The end of this little guy.  This scene was one of the first I thought up, because of the use of the astronaut.  I wanted a fish-eye scene, which was pretty fun.  I fish eyed the word bubble.  Hope you all enjoyed this.  I’ll post the cover and print-ups next.
